The first examinations were held Sep
TENDER "a 1879, and the initial year of
the annex opened simultaneously with
the Harvard college year. Twenty-four
courses of study, identical with the col
lege courses, We're given during the first
year by eight Harvard professors, seven
assistant professors, and eight instruct
ors. Twenty-nine students were en-
rolled the first year. The number
was doubled, lacking one, in the
second year, but dropped to forty in the
third. There were thirty-nine students
the fourth year, forty-nine the fifth, fifty
five the sixth, and seventy-two the
seventh. This year the number has in
creased to ninety, and the prospect is
good for exceeding hundred next year.

OZONE.
The Mysterious Chemical Agent Getting
to be Understood.

The Mysterious Chemical Agent Getting
to be Understood.
Ozone, according to the recent careful OBJ
servations of DR.. Olszewski, boils at tenn
perature of -1O6o C. This curious sub
stance-the nature of which was so long
mystery, and about which so many conflict
ing hypothesis have been devised-is now
becoming well known to us. For the sake
Of those of our readers who have not been
able to follow the details of recent research,
we NAV in few words summarize the pres
ent state of our knowledge. Ozone is denser
form of oxygen. Its specific gravity is "a,
that of common oxygen being 16, and that
of hydrogen L. 1t is highly probable that its
molecules contain three similar oxygen
atoms. In the concentrated state it is DOW.
erftll irritant poison, and it is very unstable,
decomposing with explosion and with eyolu-
ton of heat, and exerting most powerful
action on oxidiZable materials. For some
time past it has been known that it liquefies
under the influence of combined cold and
pressure. The liquid is indigo blue, and its
vanor in q tolerably concentrated state has q
color which can only be compared to that of
an Italian sky. Olszewsh has now succeeded
in Iiouefying it at the ordinary atmospheric
pressure by exposing it to the intense cold
Of boiling oxygen -181o c. When eau
tiously heated the liquid began to evaporate,
and when heated to -106o G. it entered into
active ebullition. 1t is very dangerous
substance to work with.-Ldacet.

came, aearly thewhole evening was
allowed to pass in miscellaneous con-
versation before the subject near
est his heart was preached. 1t was,
however, so cordially received that
further consultations followed, and in
few weeks a committee was formed
to bring the matter into definite form.
The first letter to President Eliot, of Har-
ward, was written December %, 1873.
He received the plan without objection,
and it was determined to 60 forward ener-
getically. The first committee comprised
Mrs. Arthur Gilman, Mrs Louis Agas-
siz, Miss Alice Longfellow, Mrs. J. B.
Grecnough, Mrs. E. W. Quincy, Mrs. J.

Mr.. Arthur Gilman was made the secre-
tary of the committee, and has re-
manned the secretary ard executive

THE FEAR OF DRAUGHTs.

Foul, Hot Air the Greatest Menace to
Good Health.
Foul dust in rooms cannot be got rid of
by any amount of sweeping and carpet beat
ing. The only thing that will remove and
replace it is current of comparatively pure
air from the outside. Except in very cold
weather, there should always be two open
windows in each room, on opposite sides.
"If we should follow that advice" the hor-
rifed reader will exclaim, ''we should all
catch fatal cold. Don't / remember a
dozen colds got by being exposed to sud-
den draught? Only few nights ago, when
occupied a seat near the door of theatre,
the door was left open during the inter-
mission, and the draught, though pleasant
enough, gave me bad cold. No, thank
you. No draughts for me!'' This logic
seems good. yet it is utter sophistry. AS a
metaphysician would say, the draught was
only the occasion, not the cause of
the cold. The real cause was the foul, hot
air in the theatre, which demoralized your
skin and relaxed its blood vessels, SO that
they were unable to react suddenly and en-
dure the healthful, cool air from the street.
In other words, it was not the draught that
gave you cold, but the sudden transition
from hot to cold air. Such a transition al
ways is injurious to the skin, whether it be
from hot to cold or from cold to hot air. But
if you are not overheated current of cold
air is never injurious. AS one of the great
est authorities on hygiene, Professor RECLAIM
remarks: "Draughts are not injurious un-
less we are in a glow. To healthy persons
they cannot possibly do so much harm as
the stagnant air in close room. The fear
of draughts is entirely groundless though it
affects most people in manner which is
simply ludicrous.' 1t is high time to acquit
draughts of the charge of being the cause of
our colds and to convict the true culprit,
the injurious dollhouse atmosphere in our
rooms Why do people on river excursions
or on ocean steamers, where they are ex-
posed to terrible draughts, never "catch
cold?" Simply because their skins are not
previously broiled in hot-houses.-The Epoch.

The vital idea of the Harvard Annex
is to secure for its students the advan-
tages of instruction in regular college
courses by the Harvard faculty. which is
the most numerous, and probably the
ablest, body of instructors gathered in
one locality anywhere in the United
States. The opportunities thus offered
by the annex are, and will remain,
unique. For next year the number of
courses announced is seventy eight,
to be under the care of forty
eight Harvard professors, assistant
professors and instructors Last year

in Greek, "a in Latin, SO in Eng
lish, 80 in German, 90 in French, 10 in

self that the Harvard professors might
be induced to give the same instruction
to women, apart from their regular
duties, that was givne in the college
courses. That was the seed. Its devel-
opment and growth have given us the
Harvard Annex, now in its seventh
year of successful operation, with ninety
students on its roll, owning build
ing worth $4,000, having an endow-
ment fund Of over 100000, and
q reputation for quality Of work
second to no educational institution
in the land. The beginnings were
small. With great hesitation, and after
long thought, Mr.. Gilman, on November
25, 1878, invited single member of the
Harvard faculty, Professor Greenough, to
his house to talk over the idea. So faint
hearted was he that, when the professor

spronn IN the spring are full Of juice
and sap 1t is Mcse that make good tea.
after tAe same leaf may hare gro"n
for say three weeks, it aciU be much
larger Of course, but acill not produce
that delicate flavor and rich strength
thatthe same leaf uhen young uould.
Many teas imported into this country
are made from the nsatured leaves BE-
cause they make more teoe They are al
most acortIless, the lea0es after infusion
being dark, t1asipid and fiat to the taste,
sohile on the contrary the young leaf Of
fine tea like He-No is soft, tender,
fragrant and puage7at to thepdlate, and
It's just because He-No is made In the
early spring, and before the leaf has
attained its full grouth, that it has the
quality which ne claim for it. One
pound Of tender young Leaves possesses
more real tea extract thGa. tho or thres
pounds Of old leaves. # you soil look
at a sample u He-No tea, you aoill find
It's a snlaH leaf and much broken, as
the storekeeper acou1d sag, "Dusty and
ugly, no style or appearance" and It
is just because it is you,ag and tender
that it is broken up. The question may
be asked why are not all leaves for tea
making gathered when they are young
and juicy. Simply because bush, for
Instance, that uiU yield sag quarter Of
a pound Of young Leaves, if these are
permitted to remain on the bush for too
or three meehs longer they arill make one
or tuo pounds Of Leaves. 1t is the same
old story Of ''quantity not quality"
He-No tea is no longer an experiment.,
but an assured success, and this is at
tested by tue attention it has attracted
at all the large erpositions held in the
South and Vest for the past five gears.
Imitation is the Sincerest F1attery.
The best proof that He-No Tea has
extraordinary merits and that it has
found unusual .favor NTH the public is
that it is so largely initiated and coun-
terfeited. These limitations resemble
He-No in appearance and style Of pack
ing only they lack the purity and gen.
eral excellence Of the genuine. This
notice IS necessary as so many imita-
tons liable to throw diseredit upon the
genuine are often substituted for He-No
tea, because they pay larger profit.
The price Of He-No tea is as low as is
consistent with the cost Of such high
grade tea, rhile it is sold at q less profit
per pound than any tea in the country.
Consumers have simply to insist upon
having the genuine tea ]; if any substi-
tuts is offered it is for the Advantage
Of the seller.
